RSS: Meet Salim Ismail, co-founder of Pubsub [english]

Quite some buzz lately about Salim (for instance here on Om’s blog), as he has just left Pubsub for new ventures. He sent an email around a couple of days ago announcing his move:

“PubSub is about to go into its next phase and I’m separating from the company, so my email address won’t work anymore. When I started PubSub, it was always the intent to build it to a certain point and then leave to do my next venture. After four years (internet years, no less), that time has come.And no, I don’t exactly know what my next (ad)venture will be… but stay tuned. Whatever it is, I’m first taking a vacation - I haven’t had more than a 3-day weekend off since 2002, so I’m long overdue!And in case you didn’t know, I’m now blogging at www.salimismail.com. For those of you unfamiliar with blogs, it’s like a journal or diary online which gets updated regularly (in my case about 2-3 times a week).”

I taped a quick interview of Salim in the Paris metro at the recent LesBlogs conference last December. Here he explains quite well what PubSub is.

Good luck on your new ventures Salim. Looking forward to it.

Update: I just reencoded the video: it seems I had a small sync problem between audio & video. Is it better now ?
